Real Haunted Houses in Weston

Home to thousands of mentally ill people, this asylum in Weston, WV, opened in 1864. Also known as the Weston State Hospital, the asylum was originally designed to house 250 beds, which grew tremendously over the years. At times, resident numbers peaked at 2,400, which lead to overcrowding, extremely poor conditions and infrastructure deterioration. Due to this, the asylum closed its doors in 1994.
